Protein! Eat all you want.

On strict low fat diet, recommended amount of protein to be consumed is 18%. Luckily for us here in Nigeria, our farmers are not yet into feeding animals growth hormones unlike in the western countries, so we are free to eat every type of proteins.

• Fish.    preferably those caught in the wild not farmed. Mackerel (Titus), Catfish, Cod (Okporokpo/ Stockfish), Tuna, Halibut, Salmon, Tilapia
• Shellfish   Oysters, Mussels, Lobster, Clams, Periwinkle, Shrimp, Crab etc
• Whole Eggs.   You can prepare them in different ways like fried, deviled boiled, poached and scrambled
• Meat.  Beef, Veal, Goat, Lamb, Bush meat of any kind, Pomo, Shaki etc
• Bacon and sausages.  Please check labels very well on this. Lots of these sausages are filled with Wheat products as filling. Chicken Franks are not sausages and is unacceptable. Hotdogs should be carefully checked for carbs
• Pork.  Pork loin, Pork chops, and Ham. Be careful with Hams lots of them have added sugar.
• Poultry.  Chicken breast, Turkey,
• Snails.

These proteins can be eaten fried, boiled, smoked, sautéed . Favourite way of passing time is nibbling on fired chicken legs and wings, Lol. So eat all the protein you want but make sure it has enough fat. Hmm, I think I'll make a delicious Isi Ewu to enjoy my weekend.

Bye!
